Where do you go to school?
University of North Texas (transferred from UT Austin)


What's your major?
currently undeclared, but by the end of the spring semester, I'll probably declare History (with teaching certification)

What's your GPA?
3 something. Same here, Helena Handbasket- that *******s an F in a web-based course because I thought I dropped it, so I never turned anything in.

When do you expect to graduate?
If I bust my ass, December of 2006. If I still bust my ass, but not as much, Spring of 2007 (there are a fucking LOT of teacher-certifcation classes to take, especially if i go for "social science" certification. It certifies me to teach History (world and US), geography, economics, government, psychology, and sociology at a high school level. The History Certification track certifies me to teach History (US and world) at the high school level. I think the social science track would make me more 'marketable' to potential employers, but I really dont want to teach geography, econ, or gov't)

Are you going to grad school?
Depends. I might do it after I have a job and do school just part time. Yes, it'll take me longer to finish, but it might be easier that way

Have you taken the GRE? How'd you do?
Nope

Are you in grad school now?
Nope

What's your ultimate 'career goal'?
Currently, teaching... since I'll pretty much not have to worry about not having a job (sure I might have to move, but there is no such thing as "too many teachers")
After teaching for a few years, and if I decide it's not my thing afterall, I might go back to school for something in the RTF-area. Maybe Journalism. I'd love to do that, but I think I'd really enjoy teaching, so I'll try it first.

Cool.


I was worried about the teachers up here, since I'd had really good ones at UT, but the ones up here are GREAT. My Anthropology professor in the fall is the best teacher I've ever had at the college-level.
